Reincarnated as an Energy with a System-Novel

Chapter 1393  Beaten Up

"What is he talking about?"

"We're gonna die?"

"Hey, buddy! Don't say stuff like that."

The people in the lounge area immediately started speaking out in either worry or anger at the thing happening. The man, who looked to be in his late 20s, turned around toward the people and shouted out loud, "YES! Something terrible is going to happen very soon. We have…" The man looked at his watch and looked back up. "In less than 2 minutes."

"Sir, please. You are scaring the other passengers. If you have sinformation, please tell us. Otherwise, I will have to ask you to go sit down," an older man who seemed to be the highest authority in the Zeppelin said.

"I don't know what is going to happen," the man said. "All I know is that something is. We need to land right away, or we all will die."

"Sir, we are 4 kilometers in the air, on a Zeppelin. We cannot land just because you say so," the man explained. "Also, if we land, we won't be able to fly once again."

"But we have to. Do you want to die or what? Listen toalready," the man replied.

The back and forth escalated with the young man claiming about the Zeppelin being in trouble and the others trying to find out what he knew or how he knew it.

Many people were skeptical, but seeing the man slowly get more and more scared as twent on, he started getting more and more agitated.

"Sir Ning, what should we do?" Tim asked.

"Let us wait and see," Ning said. "Do you think his watch is a Zurin treasure?"

"Why are you so calm?" Jasmine asked. "Can you survive dropping from 4 kilometers in the sky? Or being burned alive if this thing explodes?"

"Yes," Ning said, looking back at her. "Easily."

"Oh…" Jasmine didn't know what to say at that. "If that's the case then… never mind."

"Fine, if you're not going to listen to me, then step aside. I'll do it myself!"

The man pushed past a bunch of people and rushed to the doors that separated the regular area from the pilot's compartments.

He kicked the door hard enough that the door bent on its hinges. Then he gave it another kick and the door flung open, the people inside the compartment looking back in shock and fear.

The man rushed toward the controls, but before he could, the other people he had rushed past caught up to him and pulled him back outside.

Before anyone could tell what was going on, the young man was getting beaten up by multiple people at once for trying to rush to the pilot's controls.

Nobody was going to just watch someone try to mess with the flight controls of a flying ship that they were in.

Tim looked away, grimacing a little as he heard the pain in the man's voice.

"Dear Zurinus," Jasmine spoke softly. "They're going to kill him."

Ning sighed and moved his hands a bit. He then turned toward Jasmine. "Can you bring him here, please? Make them think they're still hitting the real person. Show swounds."

Jasmine shrugged. "Sure," she said and raised her hand full of rings. Within moments, she had turned invisible and was already on her way toward the group.

Ning watched from the sideline as people stopped beating the man and instead started questioning him about what he was doing.

The image of the man that Jasmine had already created was one where he was simply unconscious and unmoving, so many people were starting to move back, to not implicate themselves with whatever was happening to him.

Something plopped down next to Ning and he looked at Jasmine who appeared from thin air. "This guy is way too heavy," she said, moving her shoulders a bit. "You can hide sound too?" Ning asked.

"All 5 senses," Jasmine answered. "But mostly sight is the strongest one."

"Incredible," Ning said. "Remove his illusion."

The man appeared in front of Ning and Tim on the couch with a bloodied and swollen face. His lip had split in 3 places, he had a black eye and he could barely stay conscious at all.

Ning touched the man next and quickly healed him. Suddenly, every evidence of the man being attacked except for his bloodied face disappeared. "Can you speak?" Ning asked.

"Wh-what is going on?" the man slowly got up. He found the sudden loss of pain and haziness alarming and quickly looked around him at Ning, Tim, and Jasmine.

"We saved you," Jasmine said. "Those people over there would've killed you if not forstepping in."

"You did?" the man asked.

"Can you tellwhat you meant when you said the Zeppelin is going to go down?" Ning asked. "I believe the 2 minutes you mentioned have already passed away, but the Zeppelin is still fine."

The man quickly straightened up and looked at the watch on his wrist with a somewhat wide eye. "We've passed the danger zone," he said. "Nothing bad is going to happen next."

"And your watch tells you that?" Ning asked, looking at the man's wrist. He couldn't see anything on the watch itself.

The man looked up, surprised that his watch had been noticed. He quickly hid it behind himself to not let anyone see it.

"You… you don't need to know," the man said. "This watch is mine. Don't even think of doing anything—"

"Where's that book?" Jasmine asked before tossing Ning the watch. The man looked confused, only to belatedly realize that his watch had been stolen. How or when he wasn't sure. He hadn't even seen the girl move at all.

Ning brought out the book and placed the watch on top of it.

The man reached out for his watch, but Ning grabbed his arm, forcing it away.

"Tim, would you do the honors?" Ning asked.

Tim nodded, walked up to the book and placed his palm onto it. With a golden glow, text appeared on the Book of Treasures.
